It's what I would consider a "Trailbike". Another classification to further muddy the waters. It's what would have been considered a "Freeride" bike a couple of years ago. Before they were doing 10'0" drops.
It has 4.5" of rear wheel travel and 5" in the fork. Weight is right around 32 lbs, but can easily and sensibly be built up (or down) to about 27 - 28 lbs.
The cranks on this are chromoly and kinda heavy. But indestructible. The wheels are DH rims, and some beefy tires as well.
I'll keep it like it is. Minus the fork. I'm more concerned about strength than I am weight!
